I have just completed a month of volunteering at Samma Karuna Awakening and Healing Centre, and I wish I could stay longer. This has truly been a transformative experience. Surrounded by wonderful open-minded people, immersed in love and wisdom I found myself in an environment where growth comes naturally through daily yoga and meditation practice. There is a variety of classes to choose from to work on your mind, body and spirit, and all this in a friendly supportive atmosphere. Truly wonderful place. Thank you, beautiful family.

I have just spent an amazing 6 weeks volunteering and being apart of the Samma Karuna family. It really is a special place, with the beautiful energy of Ishi, Darina and all the other staff and volunteers it's a welcoming and excepting place for everybody to come. I would highly recommend spending some time here, not only because of the wonderful people but also for the varied program they offer. Here is a place to love, heal and be excepted.

I"ve been volunteering at Samma Karuna for one month and loved it so much that I returned for another 4 weeks. Samma Karuna is a truly loving space full of genuine people. It offers everything from Yoga to Osho Meditations and Cuddling Groups. Being part of the community was more than healing and a life changing experience. Anyone who is looking for love light and peace Samma Karuna is the place for you!
Taariq Bousaleh
I had the genuine pleasure of attending Samma Karuna for several months, and I am so grateful to the universe for bringing me into contact with this magical center of love!!!
Samma Karuna is so much more than a place where people do yoga, and can explore a wide variety of meditations, wisdom sessions, tantra, and many many other heart opening workshops....
I felt this place has been truly enchanted by the love and good will poured into it by the creators, teachers, student, and volunteers alike... Unfortunately, there are no words to describe some things, you just have to experience it for yourself!!
So If you are thinking about spending some time here, all i can say to you is to follow your heart..... and do it! :)
Alexander Field
Samma Karuna is a special place. You have the opportunity to learn and try many different kinds of meditation which are led professionally. The location is beautiful and so is the owner, Ishi.
I went through a hard time on Koh Phangan and even though I hardly knew the owner, Ishi gave me the support I needed by offering an ear and advice. I wasn't truly able to express my gratitude at the time, so big thank you to you Ishi. You are wise, humble and have an open heart.
Yours truly,
Emma Hewitt
Samma Karuna is beautiful school of wellness & healing arts that all who are seeking excellent classes, nurturing community & the added bonus of personal transformation should go to. I spent the month of March 2015 at their yoga teacher training program & it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Beyond preparing me to teach yoga, I found myself again, made lifelong friends, and my heart feels stronger & more full than ever before. I am eternally grateful for my time at Samma Karuna & can't wait to return again.

If you want to know what it's open up your heart, to feel a warm and loving hug, to be part of group that really takes care of your feelings; to live and learn different tecniques related with the spiritual world from excellents teachers, in an paradisiac island of Thailand; this is the perfect place.
I'll be eternally gratefull to the Samma Karuna team for the oportunity to share with you!!
Anja Maier
An amazing place to do yoga, try different meditations, meet wonderful, like minded people from all around the world, do great workshops... And the yoga platform in the middle of the jungle is just stunning!!!
Ania Drupka
This place welcomes you like a family member and at the same time the teachers are helpful and truly professional. It is not only a place of practice but also of understanding and knowledge. They have a beautiful relaxation area where you can meet other yogis.
Selysa Love
This place has been graced with in-quantifiable amounts of love, compassion, and joy. It brings you to your truth, and then gives you the tools to help you stay there. Truly life changing and transformative in only positive ways.
Jaime Alcaraz
A little note to anyone thinking of attending the Samma Karuna School of Awakening and Yoga: DO IT! I did my first yoga TTC in late summer 2014, and loved every minute of every 14hr day. It was one of the most amazing, intense and rewarding experiences I've ever had; emotionally, physically and spiritually. I am highly recommending the entire experience, whether it be a full intense course, a less "full-on" experience, or even just a few yoga or awakening classes. Whatever you decide, Samma Karuna will welcome you with open (and non-dogmatic!) arms. A journey I will never forget, and am already thinking of continuing.... Enjoy! :)

Bianca Božena
Such a wonderful centre, a family, a home away from home to discover, experience and enjoy your true and highest self
Sigur Syvertsen
When I tried it for many year ago, I was convinced it was processes in myself that controlled it all - and it must have been something else, you wouldn't be logical. Kind of like a psychedelic trip,
Are you capable of aa count numbers you know you're not omgaas to daily, or see the colors and concepts of thinking is irrational or you know is just nonsense (?)
When are you possibly at right way.
Angela David
I would recommend Samma Karuna from the bottom of my heart!
Best & life changing experience, ever!
Miss them all so much & eternally thankful for time spent there!
I will definitely be back someday!?????
Paul Maggiar
Beautiful people, beautiful beach, beautiful environment. A variety of yoga classes, meditation sessions, and training on the ways of tantra. Do one of the various teacher training courses offered and become a lifelong member allowing you free access to the vast majority of classes seven days a week. Top that with a vegan restaurant with delicious food reasonably priced, a friendly staff and volunteer workers and, well, form your own conclusions. Personally, I took the yoga teacher training course eight months ago, and now find myself living two bungalow resorts down the beach enjoying the life I have made for myself here in Phangan island. Life is beautiful...
Priscilla Benites de Campos
Samma Karuna is an amazing yoga school. I've been in Koh Phangan for some weeks and have attended some classes, which are always great. They have many options of yoga styles and workshops, with very good teachers. The location is great, with a see view from some of the yoga halls, what makes the classes more inspiring by being so close to nature, the restaurant is also very good and chill and the best is that they always have some free classes that is perfect if yu have a tight budget. And just to mention, the International Yoga Day there was awesome, with lots of free activities and a lovely kirtan in the end.

Thank you Samma Karuma for hosting the workshops from Shaoline temple Germany, this is a big great help for Asian people like me to have chances come learning and practicing excellent skills for my mind and body in a very nice environment, beautiful view and of course Free filling water providing 24hrs 7 days. Lol ?
Sheila Hjermenrude
Samma Karuna is a wonderful heart centred wellness and healing centre which offers a multitude of learning and growing experiences through classes, workshops and various types of meditation. Their friendly staff and instructors are their to help and guide you in whatever you may need.
Enjoy yoga in a beautiful,open air, beach front shala, stroll through the peaceful serene zen garden, meditate in Buddha Hall, or watch the magnificent sunset over the water, whatever you choose you will find it an amazing place to clear the mind and live in the moment. Namaste ?? ?????
Kevin Adams
I've just spent the most incredible 6 days at Samma Karuna. The people here have collectively created a warm and welcoming feel to come be yourself and melt into nature. Yoga classes with a divine outlook into the ocean and horizon + other modalities are diverse and powerful to experience more of who you truly are. Sincere gratitude! ??
Kim Long
Thank you all at Samma Karuna, had a truly wonderful stay. Joined for the 3 week Awakening and Healing program and stayed in a single bungalow on the property. The property is much nicer, cleaner and better than the images might suggest, it truly exceeded all my expectations. The teachers, masters, staff and volunteers were all lovely and caring, you truly felt welcome. I was a real beginner at Yoga, but now I have learned some and must say the teachers were great and helpful. Took a couple of workshops and felt I got really good value for money. Can highly recommend this program and experience for all, may you be new on your awakening path or more experienced, Samma Karuna caters for all. Thank you and hope to see you all again.
Kevin Kiraga
Great place to awaken! Apart from yoga they offer a huge variety of different workshops, on meditation, tantra etc. They are located in a amazing place right in front of the sea, so when youre always facing an amazing view! They host volunteers and offer free water and tea which is nice! Recommend.
Robert Phair
I went to Samma Karuna twice a week for free yoga classes during their mid-term break between TTC (Teacher Training Course) sessions. The recent TTC graduates were giving free afternoon classes every weekday which were both demanding and enjoyable for me (as a relative beginner) as well as more advanced students.
The environment is tranquil and low-key without any pressure to adhere to any particular dogma. Physically it's very serene, always within earshot of running water, close to the beach with a sea breeze. They also have free Kirtan events and speciality courses in everything from martial arts to alternative health disciplines.
I have very positive memories of talking with the teachers, and would look forward to studying there again as well as working with any yoga teacher who's finished their TTC programme.
Maria Anina Maeser
I am a big fan of the kundalini yoga at samma karuna - tought by the two beautiful souls jewels and alex. Always challenging but very much rewarding at the same time I felt a deeper connection to my true self and in general more receptive for the beauty of life ? Thank you!
Carla Kent
I didn't like the attitude of the yoga teacher who taught the Ariel Yoga. American or Canadian man. His manner was not appropriate and not yogi at all. I also met a person who was doing a retreat here and her experience was quite a negative one.
